About:
Q Light Controller+ (QLC+) is a cross-platform, open-source lighting control application designed for managing DMX512, ArtNet, and analogue lighting systems. It provides a flexible virtual console with support for universes, channels, and complex show programming. The software is highly extensible via plugins, making it suitable for both hobbyists and professional stage technicians.
Key Features:
  • Cross-platform (Linux, macOS, Windows) with a Qt-based UI
  • Support for DMX512, ArtNet, OSC, and MIDI inputs
  • Virtual console with desks, faders, and buttons
  • Fixture editor and profile management
  • Plugin-based architecture for universes and inputs
